Cash For College Workshop This Saturday
This Saturday, February 21st, my office will be hosting Cash for College financial aid workshops at Belmont High School in East L.A to educate students and their parents about all the options available to them to help make college affordable. The workshop is free and open to the public. I encourage anyone with a child looking into colleges to attend. In addition, if you know someone who might benefit from this event, please forward this information on to them.

Those who attend will have access to volunteers trained in filling out the complicated financial aid forms needed to qualify for state, federal, and other sources of financial aid. LACashForCollege.org has more specifics. Just be sure to bring the following items:
- You and your parents’ 2008 federal income tax returns;
- Any records of income earned by you or your parents including W-2 forms and paycheck stubs;
- Current bank statements and records of stocks, bonds or other investments.
While college tuition gets more expensive every year, there are ways to make sure a solid college education is an opportunity within the reach of all Angelenos.
